body_n safe_a till_o the_o great_a resurrection_n and_o he_o have_v also_o make_v it_o a_o beat_a and_o plain_a way_n to_o heaven_n christ_n jesus_n himself_o go_v to_o heaven_n through_o the_o grave_n and_o so_o must_v we_o and_o all_o the_o godly_a we_o must_v first_o put_v off_o the_o rag_n of_o mortality_n before_o we_o can_v put_v on_o the_o robe_n of_o immortality_n to_o a_o wicked_a man_n the_o grave_n be_v a_o thoroughfare_n to_o hell_n but_o to_o a_o man_n asleep_a in_o jesus_n it_o be_v a_o passage_n to_o heaven_n where_o christ_n be_v and_o if_o st._n austin_n be_v willing_a to_o go_v even_o through_o hell_n to_o christ_n in_o heaven_n much_o more_o may_v we_o be_v willing_a to_o go_v through_o the_o grave_n to_o he_o 3._o they_o that_o sleep_n in_o jesus_n have_v this_o benefit_n also_o that_o by_o their_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o watchful_a providence_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o substance_n preserve_v so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o utter_o extinct_a and_o annihilate_v by_o death_n but_o something_o of_o their_o body_n remain_v undestroy_v there_o be_v nothing_o utter_o total_o and_o final_o destroy_v in_o a_o child_n of_o god_n by_o death_n but_o sin_n and_o misery_n the_o rot_v of_o the_o body_n in_o the_o grave_n be_v but_o as_o the_o rot_a of_o the_o corn_n in_o the_o earth_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o cor._n 15.36_o the_o seed_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o earth_n and_o there_o it_o die_v and_o rot_v but_o be_v not_o utter_o extinct_a but_o rot_v in_o the_o ground_n that_o it_o may_v be_v quicken_v again_o so_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n rot_v in_o their_o grave_n that_o they_o may_v be_v raise_v again_o and_o make_v like_a unto_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o jesus_n christ._n and_o this_o be_v another_o reason_n why_o the_o death_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n be_v call_v a_o sleep_n because_o as_o a_o man_n asleep_o be_v not_o extinct_a no_o more_o be_v he_o in_o the_o grave_n there_o be_v a_o substance_n preserve_v and_o as_o david_n say_v of_o a_o afflict_a righteous_a man_n 34.20_o that_o god_n keep_v all_o his_o bone_n not_o one_o of_o they_o be_v break_v so_o god_n keep_v the_o dust_n and_o ash_n of_o his_o child_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v utter_o and_o total_o consume_v object_n but_o be_v there_o not_o a_o substance_n preserve_v also_o in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o wicked_a answ._n it_o be_v true_a their_o body_n be_v not_o utter_o destroy_v but_o remain_v not_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o union_n with_o christ_n but_o preserve_v by_o the_o almighty_a power_n of_o god_n as_o a_o terrible_a lord_n and_o severe_a judge_n and_o remain_v as_o in_o a_o prison_n till_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n in_o which_o they_o shall_v appear_v before_o christ_n and_o then_o be_v condemn_v to_o hell_n happy_a be_v it_o for_o a_o wicked_a man_n if_o his_o body_n be_v annihilate_v by_o death_n as_o it_o be_v happy_a for_o a_o traitor_n if_o he_o die_v in_o prison_n and_o escape_v hang_v but_o herein_o consist_v the_o difference_n between_o he_o and_o a_o man_n asleep_a in_o jesus_n a_o man_n out_o of_o christ_n be_v not_o proper_o preserve_v in_o the_o grave_n but_o rather_o reserve_v by_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v afterward_o torment_v in_o hell_n but_o a_o man_n in_o christ_n be_v not_o only_o reserve_v but_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o preserve_v to_o enjoy_v eternal_a glory_n with_o their_o soul_n at_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n 4._o he_o that_o sleep_v in_o jesus_n have_v this_o benefit_n also_o that_o though_o his_o body_n lie_v rot_v in_o the_o grave_n yet_o his_o soul_n be_v all_o the_o while_n in_o heaven_n where_o it_o enjoy_v the_o glorious_a presence_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o saint_n and_o angel_n i_o say_v his_o soul_n which_o be_v his_o best_a half_a which_o be_v the_o man_n of_o man_n be_v in_o heaven_n indeed_o his_o body_n which_o be_v but_o as_o the_o box_n and_o carcase_n be_v in_o the_o grave_n but_o the_o substance_n and_o jewel_n be_v in_o heaven_n object_n what_o benefit_n do_v the_o body_n in_o the_o grave_a gain_n by_o his_o soul_n be_v in_o heaven_n answ._n i_o gain_v this_o double_a benefit_n 1._o if_o his_o soul_n be_v in_o heaven_n it_o be_v certain_a the_o body_n will_v come_v thither_o at_o last_o for_o it_o be_v but_o as_o the_o shadow_n to_o the_o substance_n and_o if_o the_o substance_n be_v in_o heaven_n the_o shadow_n will_v undoubted_o follow_v 2._o though_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o heaven_n yet_o it_o can_v never_o be_v perfect_o and_o complete_o happy_a till_o it_o be_v reunite_v to_o the_o body_n for_o god_n make_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v the_o form_n of_o the_o body_n and_o to_o dwell_v for_o ever_o in_o it_o and_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o adam_n transgression_n the_o body_n and_o soul_n shall_v never_o have_v be_v separate_v this_o separation_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o the_o soul_n in_o heaven_n have_v appetitum_fw-la unionis_fw-la a_o desire_n to_o have_v this_o breach_n make_v up_o and_o to_o be_v unite_v again_o to_o his_o body_n because_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o more_o perfect_a and_o complete_a be_v with_o it_o than_o without_o it_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o wait_v for_o the_o redemption_n of_o his_o body_n 6.10_o and_o that_o it_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v

perfect_a crown_n of_o glory_n the_o soul_n in_o heaven_n say_v bernard_n pray_v for_o their_o body_n in_o the_o grave_n they_o be_v not_o like_o the_o chief_a butler_n who_o forget_v joseph_n when_o he_o be_v restore_v to_o his_o former_a dignity_n they_o remember_v they_o have_v body_n still_o in_o the_o grave_n which_o be_v companion_n with_o they_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n in_o prayer_n and_o fast_v and_o suffer_v affliction_n for_o christ._n and_o they_o know_v that_o by_o reunion_n with_o they_o their_o happiness_n will_v be_v much_o increase_v and_o therefore_o they_o can_v cease_v pra●ing_v for_o they_o and_o christ_n will_v in_o due_a time_n come_v in_o glory_n to_o raise_v they_o up_o unto_o everlasting_a life_n a_o five_o benefit_n that_o accrue_v to_o the_o body_n that_o be_v asleep_a in_o jesus_n be_v that_o christ_n himself_o can_v be_v perfect_a till_o it_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a as_o a_o natural_a body_n can_v be_v perfect_a without_o all_o its_o member_n no_o more_o can_v christ_n mystical_a as_o head_n of_o his_o church_n be_v perfect_a till_o every_o member_n of_o his_o body_n be_v glorify_v therefore_o it_o be_v say_v eph._n 1.23_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o fullness_n of_o he_o who_o fill_v all_o in_o all_o which_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o that_o voluntary_a condition_n whereunto_o christ_n have_v subject_v himself_o in_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o body_n that_o be_v his_o church_n so_o that_o as_o a_o natural_a body_n be_v maim_v and_o imperfect_a if_o the_o least_o member_n be_v want_v so_o be_v christ_n as_o head_n of_o his_o church_n maim_v and_o imperfect_a till_o all_o the_o body_n that_o be_v asleep_a in_o jesus_n be_v reunite_v to_o their_o soul_n and_o receive_v into_o glory_n for_o ever_o with_o
